LaVern Antionette "Tammie" Green was born on December 29, 1957, to Minister Thomas Edward Green, Jr., and the late Carrie Lee Bennett Johnson.
She was raised in Palmetto, Florida, as well as Great Neck, New York. She graduated from John L. Miller Great Neck Senior High School with the class of 1976.
While living in New York, Tammie took part in modeling as well as completing some college with psychology as her major. She was truly a free-spirited and "tell it like it is" person with a true love for family and all who she became close to. She was always the life of the party.
Tammie later returned to Palmetto, Florida, where she worked various jobs ranging from customer service, call centers, and the packing house. She worked these various jobs until her health started to decline and prevented her from doing so. Tammie accepted Christ as her personal savior and attended Bible Baptist Church, until walking became an issue and she was no longer able to do so.
Tammie was preceded in death by her mother, Carrie Lee Bennett Johnson; grandmothers, Ada Lee Wilson and Sarah Green; sisters, Patricia Green (her favorite sister) and Treacy Green; aunts, Jean Leach and Lee Bennett; uncle, Edgar Reshard, Sr.; cousin, Edgar Reshard, Jr.; and bonus son, Samuel Edwards.
Left to cherish her memories are: her father, Minister Thomas Edward Green, Jr.; children, Tyson Johnson, ZeAnna Reed and Deon Edwards; grandchildren, Anthony Johnson, Zenai (Sweet Pea) Reed, Layla (her birthday twin) Johnson, Matthias Wilson, Jae Johnson, and Kanaan Valentine; special cousin (more of a brother,) Daryl Reshard; "Honey,"
Laurie Edwards Sr.; bonus children, Laurie Edwards, Jr., Arthur Edwards, Jessica White (Rover), and Trent Solomon Starling; as well as the entire Edwards family; an aunt, Sarah Dawson; uncle, Minister Otis Bennett; sisters, Vickim Franzina, Teyonna, and Tarika; as well as a host of other sorrowing friends and family.
